I've been watching them in the auctions over the last month or so. The M1A1 prices are a little "rich" for my blood.

I am very pleased with the M1 Carbine I won at auction a couple weeks ago. The price I paid was a bit more reasonable...at least reasonable to me.

Yep, all boils down to priorities and even a $7500 one isn't one. Unless it would be a rare one made of Unobtainium. I'm happy with the one I won also. Even though it has been nearly 2 years since then. Only one I really want to add is an IBM.
